National to propose new 'revenue measures' to pay for income tax cuts
National's finance spokesperson Nicola Willis says their tax plan will include new "targeted revenue measures" to help pay for its income tax cuts.
Any thoughts on what those measures may be?
God I hope they tax churches.
You're viewing a single thread.
A few people have mentioned they might possibly propose a GST raise. Is this actually popular with anyone/voters?
I didn't really pay attention to politics back then, but I remember when John Key raised GST, it wasn't that popular either
@eagleeyedtiger @Ilovethebomb my money's on GST rise. Also possible, that they announce but never implement a Microsoft tax and a proceeds of crime scheme.
Shifting from income to GST effectively means those foreign corporates pay more.
They did mention multiple sources of revenue, I suspect digital services will absolutely be one of them. Proceeds of crime, we already have that don't we?
I just can't see GST being popular at all.
@Ilovethebomb I see it as a crap sandwich, you put the gst (actually happening but unpopular) in-between two slices of vague but popular things that never actually evenuate.
